Len Goodman’s replacement has not gone down well with all of Strictly’s viewers, as many have lashed out at her of getting people’s names wrong, making controversial jokes and marking several favourites harshly.

Speaking about her experience on the show, the head judge added: "It’s been an experience. And at 57! It’s been wonderful."

Shirley also slammed the public for blaming her for who goes home each week.

"They put Alexandra in the bottom two and if I would have sent her home they would have blamed me but they put her there," she added.

On Wednesday, a Strictly insider also fuelled rumours that Shirley wouldn’t be returning.

They told The Sun: "At this stage no one knows if she is coming back. She hasn’t ruled it out, if asked, but she is still waiting".
